A HU card is the smart card that is inserted into your reciever which contains the code for your dish programing. With a smart card reader/writer these cards can be unlocked to allow all programing to be availible to you.

so say i was to get a satelite dish and the reciver has one of these "smart cards" on it is there a way to unlock everything on the card so i get all chanels on it without the satilite company finding out?

wow that pretty cool, BUT how do you do it? I mean you can't just plug it into your computer or anything. so how is it done? do you type a password in or something? and what happins if the dish company finds out? or is it even possible for them to find out?

I found that the emulaters seem to be the best way to go now after the whole "black sunday" thing. cause the emulaters are not afected by any "ecm" so it would be a lot cheaper too invest in that than to invest in geting a card and a unlooper, cause the card could be destroyed by the networks future ecm trys...
